Cooper I am 75 years old. I was a C and D student. I went to a trade school. I graduated debt free. I agree with you about the collage crap. You can do very well with out the huge debt.
@@babylove7139 😢😢😢😢 Nobody loved me so I can't "chock" (as in chock full of nuts???) up talking about my grandpappy...HONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! LMAO! WOW, talk about FULL of it!
Don't waste time and money on college. You do in a week than most guys I know do in 6 months. You already know more than the guys I know at your age. I know of to many guys that have gone to college and have no jobs and playing video games living in their Mom and Dad's basement. We here are so PROUD of you and Cole. You give me hope that all is NOT lost !!
Yeah he should be a Cnc machinist and have a aerospace machine shop train him for free and pay him at the same time and make 80k within a year. College is a waste of time for hands on people. Unless your gonna be a doctor, scientist, nurse, engineer, lawyer, it pretty much a crap shoot riddled with tons of debt and a job that makes you 40-50k. Don’t ask me how I know.....
I would disagree to a certain extent. A bachelors degree in a scientific field is something that can never be taken away from you considering most people spend 45+ years in the workforce.
I agree with you on that but he said he’s a c -d student so on paper that path wouldn’t make sense for him. He would be miserable in those classes and would be uninterested. Plus they usually have a gpa requirement so he might be kicked out and forced to take up another major which means it would be a waste of time and energy. You gotta be really passionate to do well in those harder majors. You can’t just go to class and expect to pass, it takes real skill and dedication. This kid to me after watching the video has all the attributes of a great sales person. He’s smart, he’s a go getter, and he likes to doing things and not being stuck in one place. He could get any generic degree like communications or business and party his ass off and get Cs across the board In school and still make more than most of the kids in harder majors. He’d be a great outside sales person or a business owner. I mean he’s got a hay business and a truck he was able to dump tons of money into and he’s not even 20. He’s doing well plus I’m sure he makes a couple grand a month from RUclips. I got a million of friends including myself who graduated college and didn’t have that kind of money around to spend for like 6 or 8 years. It’s a rat race out there and you gotta go with your strength and not put yourself in a square hole if your a round peg just because society says you have too. This kid and his sweet mullet have the right idea. Plus I have seen it a million times... c students go into sales and make the most money or start a business and can grow it and make out real well bc they are cool as hell and just go after it. Introverts just sit there with their smarty pants degree and barely move up the latter cuz they got no balls!
Just love this kid !!!!!! You are so right about college. (this is from an 81 year old who realizes now that college just fills people with "unappreciation" for our country and, actually, unappreciation for most everything that we need to be thankful for". So glad you have those great memories of your Grandpa. Gob Bless you and your whole family.
The thing with that is that it is extremely un-likely that you will get that successful. The chances of you getting that successful from the get go are 0 to none, yes some people do, but that's more like 2 in a billion people I would think.
If you are going to be happy with what you have throughout life, then I totally understand not going to college or uni, the thing is most people always want more and are never happy, and if you need more and more to be happy you'll need to get a good education
I actually teach college classes and I will be the first to tell you that an expensive college degree is not the answer for many people. Get yourself licensed to do your welding and you will have a good trade under your belt. You have a fantastic work ethic, just like your parents and Cole and Summer. You have to do what you love to do. As long as you're happy and can pay your bills, that's all that matters.
Thankfully in my country, there are no expensive college degrees to worry about as all colleges are free. In fact, every college student here even gets paid approx. USD 1000 per month by the state to go to college, unless they still live at their parent's home in which case the rate is reduced as you have fewer expenses.
Mike Rowe talks about the importance of skilled labor and how "not everyone is cut out for college" and I agree. I didn't do well in school and ended up going to a Christian college later. I didn't get a degree , and I do sort of regret it. I taught my daughters " you never know what you can do until you've learn how to". I think it's important to never quit learning ( something, anything -your choice ) and to never sell your self short . What you don't like or care about now may change and you can always revisit the idea. You are a very capable young man and a true asset to your family and community. God bless you.
Cooper, you know far more than many if not most college graduates. Guys like you is what keeps this country running. God bless you Brother and your family!
I'm almost 70 Coop and to be 17 again and to have the world by the tail would be something. I worked for a year after graduation and saved for 1 year in college, applied while at Eastern Illinois for a state teacher's scholarship which I was approved, but Illinois had financial problems in 1970 and the new governor rescinded all new scholarships. I went back to work, met the girl of my dreams and married (49 years and counting) and eventually went into law enforcement eventually promoted to detective in the violent crimes unit and later to internal affairs. You're right dude, college is not for everybody, but with the mechanical and farming experience it sounds like you're doing the work you love. Continue on young man and never look back.
@@theresadowns3457 Interesting...I view him as loving the mechanics of farming which is just as important as planting, harvest. What make this family so blessed is they each have their on talents to bring to the table and that makes for a great feast!
The best form of education I have found is the education of life. You truly are going to go far in your lifes journey. Awesome looking truck. Great video
I was a C and D student and actually failed out of college after high school. Decided college wasn’t for me so joined the Air Force. After 4 years of being rebuilt I came out with a new look on life. Went back to college and got my nursing degree. Now after 26 years of serving my fellow Veterans working for the VA I am looking at retiring. Yes you can be a C and D student and still succeed college or no college ...just work hard thats the simple answer!! Great video and loved the “rant”!!
I see that several people have suggested painting something under the hood for your grandpa. Totally agree!! If you kow someone good at murals, maybe one of him and you. But whatever you do, you know your grandpa will be proud. Way to go Coop!!
If you decide to decorate the underside of the truck's good it should be a memorial to your grandfather. Nothing sad,but a memory of the good stuff in the life and love shared. PS follow your own light. Blessings from New Orleans.
Hey, Cooper! I am a retired teacher, and I agree with you. You do need to study though, but there is more to life than school. My mother always told me, "Just do your best!" I've tried to use that as my motto in everything that I do. I realize that you do know a lot about mechanics, but what about a mechanics program at your tech school nearby? There you will "shine" and maybe even learn something practical for the farm and your hobby of fixing up machines! There are a lot of intelligences and yours is definitely in mechanics! PS Your F150 is a gem! I'm impressed!
@@MagicMullet The mullet's great, but even old as I am it's *Big Blue* that makes my putter flutter! You and your grandfather did a great job of restoring her!
My husband is 68. Of all the Cornstars, he likes your videos best it seems. His dad was a master mechanic and he passed away in 2019. My husband knows the manufacturing year of vehicles. He says your truck is worth a whole lot more than a new car. -- Having a trade and being as skillful as you are, you will do fine in the real world.
I quit HS one month into the 10th grade and went to work. I had more common sense and a better work ethic then 90% of the teachers in our school. I worked 2 jobs for 25 years. lived off one income and socked away the rest. Was a millionaire by 45 and a multi millionaire by 55. I remember the HS principal as I was leaving school said I would never amount to anything. LOL! You have a great work ethic, keep going and don't look back kid!
Love the video.. That truck is pretty darn nice..I have 3 sons 1 is a plumber/ farmer 2 have their masters..in the their field of choice.. the best part about that was their employer paid for those degrees...It took longer to achieve but no student loans involved
FYI. Sound deadening is used for stopping the resonance of panels. MLV or massloaded vinyl is what you need for keeping out the unwanted road noise. I am a diehard chevy guy but that is one sweet truck. Please keep us posted with your progress on it.
As an older Grandpa Myself, I’m proud of you, and all that you do, and I’m sure he is too! Both of you boys are just wonderful men! Stay out of college, those people will ruin your spirit!
You and your brother are blessed. Your family has prospered due to the hard work by your Grandpa. You see this and you would do him a real solid by telling Cole to quit calling him a hoarder. Such a negative for such a good man, that put a life of prosperity in place then left that life for you all to continue.
We had an 83 ranger, two tone blue, loved it. Drove it till it died. Keep doing what you are doing. You are already successful. I really believe they need to bring back the trade schools. Try to find a plumber or an electrician around here...there's a waiting list on the guys who do that. You have more education than most will after they owe thousands of dollars for a degree they will never get to use.
Beautiful truck Cooper! I like many other people think a memorial to your grandpa would be great under the hood. Also, I'd go with a color matched bedliner.
True, I don't believe you need to go to college to be successful either, there are lots of people that are very successful that didn't go to college and some that can't even read and wright that have done very well in life.
Talk about a labor of love... Way to go Cooper. I can tell you loved your grandpa, by the way you talk about him. I miss mine too. Lost him when I was only seven... Like your Grandpa, mine was an Iowa farmer. I wish he'd have lived long enough for us to talk about pickups, and farming... but at least he took me fishing with him. I think your Grandpa would love what you've done with that '77... You've taken that old farm pickup, and made it into a work of art. Good job.
Cooper you may be a C&D's to the school but to us your viewers you are an A+. We watch you closely and while you were quiet at first on Cole's channel, you have come into your own. You are smart, creative, hardworking and have a strong sense of family. A young man who Iowa can be proud of. As you grow up, you'll do fine. Be Strong, Carry On. I think the paint under the hood should be a tribute to your grandpa. of some type.
My Dad is so nice like your dad and when I was in school and nervous about grades he always used to say, “What do they call a doctor that graduates at the bottom of his class?” And the answer of course is “Doctor” 🤷🏼♀️🙂👍🏼
I was there with my 1st gen Cummins. Then i was there with my 2016 mustang when i put twin turbos on it wich then turned into building the motor. Now im back here with my 72' f600
Hey Cooper! Thanx for the video of your Ford F-150. There's a ton of history in your sweet ride. Keep that positive "can-do" attitude. You'll go far in this world. Take care and be safe.
So sorry you lost him, but your grandpa rides along with you & Im sure he’s so proud. I worry about all our farmers & life long exposure to chemicals, especially Round-up. I’m sure you’re all as careful as can be.
You're part of a farm family, you have your hay business, and you are a great welder. You don't necessarily need a college degree to be successful. I was part of a three person family business for 34 years. When my father died in 1990 I ran it for the rest of the time. I used the earnings from that business to purchase 5 properties in Southern California in nice areas. None of which have had a mortgage since 2012. I know many people who have big college debts and were unable to get a job that has anything to do with their college degrees. I never went to college.
Yes, it "helps" to have a ready made business from "daddy" and the family....also the whole family milking the You Tube train so they can get 6 figures off of videos and rubes stupid enough to hang on their every word
That's what I'm talking about!!! 💙♥️💙 That is the SWEETEST Truck I have ever seen. We have the same taste, cause if I was to fix up an old Ford truck it would be just like that., Same color, same rims, same tires, etc. It's Awesome Cooper, Nice Job!!!
My youngest son didn't graduate high school and he builds industrial robots, also he travels the world trouble shooting and installing them. I would say it would all depends on your passion as to how you make your living.
@@purpledragonlady Didn't graduate high school and builds industrial robots...either he is lying to you or you are lying...have you noticed any pieces of mesh lying around that could be used in a crack pipe??? OR did YOU drop a rock? Jesus Christ, you people are one hell of a joke
@@northalabama2264 I was expelled in the 10th grade, passed the ged at 18, joined the IBEW and became an instrument tech in a similar automation field. So fuck you.
Cooper sweet ride, a tribute to your grandfather and the farm for your murial. I had a 79, F 100, bought it new , installed factory air, that was a comfortable tide. wish I had it today. Ask the company for a refund on the lights say you not satisfied. I do like the wheels and tires.
Your 100% right about college coupe. They have been cramming the you have to go to college to be successful for the last 20 odd years. I have been in The electrical trade for about 20 years now. And there is a huge shortage of skilled workers. Straight out of high school you can make $20 an hour. And once you become a superintendent you make over $150,000 a year. So yeah there is a ton of jobs out there if you’re willing to work hard and a lot of money to be made.
I got a 79 f150 4x4 Swb. It’s a rusty Michigan truck but it still strikes up conversations with older people at the gas station. I plan to fix all the rust, blast the frame, and paint it, and I got parts to build a 429 big block sitting around. It should be pretty cool when it’s done.
That's a sweet truck. I had a 79 4x4 f150 in the 80's. Lots of repairs and lots of fun. Sold the truck for 2 grand, that same truck now would sell for 12 grand plus. Selling it is my biggest regret. Job well done on the restoration.
Grades and degrees don't matter. What you do with the knowledge you have gained and the time you spend doing things you like is what matters. Your truck is amazing and i'm glad you have those rims on it. You build it the way you want to and add all the things on it that you like. Anyone that doesn't like the choices are welcome to buy their own truck and make it whatever way they want to make it. Keep doing what you're doing.
Hey Cooper, I left school in 1983 with nothing, got a job as a tractor/combine mechanic, then did 3 years in the airforce as a driver, then back on the farm as a mechanic and now I’m driving trucks hauling grain. No education Never been out of work.
College isn't for everyone, and there are SO many successful people who did not go. If you're doing, for a living, what makes you truly happy, then, you are more successful than most people. I enjoy your videos so much, Cooper. Love your new channel!
Wood bed with the chrome stips l.e.d lights all the way around bucket seats with counsel paint brake calipers same color as truck just my thoughts not yours bad a** truck lots of love in that one 😎✌much love from Detroit 👍 THANX Great job
I was so bored in high school that the last year I took Cooperative Health Education (CHE). Worked half a day and only went to school till 11:30. Worked as a doctor’s assistant. After grad worked at my parents business until they retired and thought I’d really like to go to nursing school but am I smart enough??? Went in and tested expecting to get a letter with big red letters saying NO ACCEPTANCE, YOU’RE AN IDIOT!!! I was accepted and entered with scores in the top of my class! What??? Was on the President’s Honor Roll every semester of school. OMG! I wasn’t stupid. I was bored!!!
Love that truck of yours! Takes me way back, and you did such a great job on it! I think I'd try to color match the spray on liner, or just choose a shade of blue that goes well. That trim package looks awesome! The pattern it makes, and the finish on the paint. That is one sweet truck, to be sure! Thanks for sharing Coop!
You need some CB antennas for those side mirrors…That’s how we rigged them back in the day…BF Goodrich radial TAs are the tires you need. Very little road noise
Sweet, education comes in many ways. How sweet you and gramps worked together.. So a project with him still there. :) Love that truck and even though I have brought a couple of gems to life. I'm jealous!!!
Cooper, my kids didn't like school either...They are doing great now that they are out in the world=) I watch you working on things in the shop, you are truly gifted!!
Yeah, Bailey453 had a good idea with your Grandfather. Show your him sitting on a tractor maybe plowing field. With great graphics. Sunset or sunrise as a back round.. I had a Van once showing me driving thru thru desert at sunrise. People loved it. Lots of comments. Take care. Be safe Cooper.
That is absolute beauty on wheels! I've gotta say, Cooper, I agree with your college theory 100%. It's a shame more young people aren't encouraged to go into farming, trade schools, etc. You are doing very well for a young man, and I for one am proud of your accomplishments! Keep on keeping on!
Okay, Here is what I suggest. Put a 460 C6 in it with a single plane 4 barrel intake and a Holley 750 double pumper carb. A 351 Cleveland can work but I would stroke it to a 408 cubic inches. Find or have a set of Stainless Steel headers built for it. A little extra power just makes it a lot more fun to drive. Posi Trac or Track Loc front and rear. Forget the air lockers or detroit lockers. Get a good Mark Williams 3.250" third member with a Mark Williams billet aluminum pinion support. Upgrade to 31 spline axles. Aluminum Mark Williams drivelines, Rancho 9000 or Fox external reservoir shocks. Dual shock in front and single in the rear. Replace all rubber bushings with urethane. 33" to 35" radial RT's. They all throw rocks. Some of the AT's are way worse than MT's. Some nerf bars will help deflect them from the body. Build your own out of aluminum or stainless so they won't rust. Polished Stainless Steel front differential cover. Install an Absorbed Glass Mat battery. Have the stereo shop make you some super cool battery cables. A rear disk brake kit is a cool functional addition. I would paint the inside of the bed and get a heavy rubber mat to protect the floor. If need be you can get some 1/2" rubber stall matt and a 4 x 8 piece should lay in there perfect. This way you can pull it out and wash the paint and bed mat totally clean so don't dirt won't get under it and rub through the paint. An in the bed tool box that sits flush with the sides of the box. No diamond tread plate. Get the polished stainless smooth box. It won't be cheap but is so much nicer. Change all marker and turn bulbs for LED's. A behind the seat rifle rack. Keep your long gun out of sight but ensures it's always with you. I drove a 79 F150 Ranger 4x4 when I was in high school. 400M/C6 short wide box. 4.10 gears and 31x10.50-15 tires so it could still fit in a 8' garage. It was a beast. We had headers into dual 2.5" pipes with glass packs on it. It sounded sweet and the headers really helped the power. This should keep ypou busy for awhile. Sometimes less is more. A clean truck always looks nicer than one with a bunch of useless trash bolted all over it. I loved my bench seat. That way my sweetie could sit right by me.
Lolol I grew up with ford's, still my favorite...ball joints! Of course you have to replace them, it's a ford! Good job! Looks great and love that it has Grandpa connection. Keep it forever
Warning on the exhaust cutouts, they dont seal fully so when they are closed it sounds like you have a exhaust leak, I spent almost $500 dollars for a dual exhaust kit, installed it and it leaked sounded like shite, sounded good when it was open tho. took them off.
@@gregjames5070 They were Quick Time Performance cutouts from Summit # QTEC50CP $500 dollars. If you know of a better quality one I would like to know. Everyone I know with cutouts leak.
Love the truck Cooper. Yes you are totally right on you don’t need to go to college to be Successful. Young man you are doing just fine. Like you said. Your handy with tools. You can work of your farm machinery. You your Dad and Cole kick butt and work great together. I never went to college either. I have my own business in the pet care field. Keep up the good work 😊👍🏻
I know about the C D student thing, but I have worked as a mechanic all my life and did very good. The skill that you have welding and repairing things is natural gift that they can not teach you to understand in school. The Vo Tech dept is the only one that under stands. The world needs people like you and you do not have to go to college, just do what you do best and let Cole do his thing and you will have a very good life. God Bless you and your family and keep up the good work.
on the inside of your hood you should paint a memorial for your grandpa just giving ideas.

Yes...so gramps can lay on the carborator and read it....LMAO...DAMN you fools are silly!
Hey, Cooper! I am a retired teacher, and I agree with you. You do need to study though, but there is more to life than school. My mother always told me, "Just do your best!" I've tried to use that as my motto in everything that I do. I realize that you do know a lot about mechanics, but what about a mechanics program at your tech school nearby? There you will "shine" and maybe even learn something practical for the farm and your hobby of fixing up machines! There are a lot of intelligences and yours is definitely in mechanics! PS Your F150 is a gem! I'm impressed!
That trucks almost as beautiful as your mullet
More beautiful
Almost huh!
Almost
@@MagicMullet The mullet's great, but even old as I am it's *Big Blue* that makes my putter flutter! You and your grandfather did a great job of restoring her!
My husband is 68. Of all the Cornstars, he likes your videos best it seems. His dad was a master mechanic and he passed away in 2019. My husband knows the manufacturing year of vehicles. He says your truck is worth a whole lot more than a new car. -- Having a trade and being as skillful as you are, you will do fine in the real world.
Dope!! My first pickup in '95 was a 1978 F150. 351, 4 speed manual. Good memories! Thanks🙏
Aww. My Dad had a 70 Ranger XLT and I could stand up in the seat. That was 40 years ago but he still calls me his "Buddy In the Truck." ❤️
I quit HS one month into the 10th grade and went to work. I had more common sense and a better work ethic then 90% of the teachers in our school. I worked 2 jobs for 25 years. lived off one income and socked away the rest. Was a millionaire by 45 and a multi millionaire by 55. I remember the HS principal as I was leaving school said I would never amount to anything. LOL! You have a great work ethic, keep going and don't look back kid!
Love the video.. That truck is pretty darn nice..I have 3 sons 1 is a plumber/ farmer 2 have their masters..in the their field of choice.. the best part about that was their employer paid for those degrees...It took longer to achieve but no student loans involved
You found your passion and that is better than any degree! I love to hear your truck running, especially slow. Papapapapapa.....
FYI. Sound deadening is used for stopping the resonance of panels. MLV or massloaded vinyl is what you need for keeping out the unwanted road noise. I am a diehard chevy guy but that is one sweet truck. Please keep us posted with your progress on it.
As an older Grandpa Myself, I’m proud of you, and all that you do, and I’m sure he is too! Both of you boys are just wonderful men! Stay out of college, those people will ruin your spirit!
In my book you’re already a successful because you work hard
Kid's got a great attitude. Thats everything in life.
Awesome Job “Put a message/Memory from your Grandpa
Love ya 💕. Beth
You and your brother are blessed.
Your family has prospered due to the hard work by your Grandpa.
You see this and you would do him a real solid by telling Cole to quit calling him a hoarder.
Such a negative for such a good man, that put a life of prosperity in place then left that life for you all to continue.
We had an 83 ranger, two tone blue, loved it. Drove it till it died. Keep doing what you are doing. You are already successful. I really believe they need to bring back the trade schools. Try to find a plumber or an electrician around here...there's a waiting list on the guys who do that. You have more education than most will after they owe thousands of dollars for a degree they will never get to use.
Your grandpa would be proud
Beautiful truck Cooper! I like many other people think a memorial to your grandpa would be great under the hood. Also, I'd go with a color matched bedliner.
That is one sweet truck. Not many 4x4's in that era. I had a 1974 F100 with a 390, would pass everything but a gas station, according to my grandpa.
Keep doing what you're doing Cooper. You are an amazing young man with incredible talent in so many things!!👍😀
I taught school for 31 years and college isn’t for everyone. Do your best and have a positive attitude in all things. (Be nice to your teachers, too.)
Go to Trump U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see it finished! It's nice now lol. Awesome job though. I like those rims over some other options out there.
Beautiful truck!! Nothing nicer than an older style FORD pickup. My first one was a 1956 F100,wish I still had it.
College is not for everybody. It is more about money management.
It is sad that Personal Finance isn't a required class in most public schools.
YES, just make a "career" out of churning out You Tube videos...that's the ticket! 🤣😂😜
True, I don't believe you need to go to college to be successful either, there are lots of people that are very successful that didn't go to college and some that can't even read and wright that have done very well in life.
@@northalabama2264 nothing wrong with that at all.
@@zachmoret7929
Yes, that should be a required class
Get the clear vinyl wrap to protect the paint from the rock chips
The plastic coating is a good idea, checkout Dmaxryno's Channel, he did that.
Talk about a labor of love... Way to go Cooper. I can tell you loved your grandpa, by the way you talk about him. I miss mine too. Lost him when I was only seven... Like your Grandpa, mine was an Iowa farmer. I wish he'd have lived long enough for us to talk about pickups, and farming... but at least he took me fishing with him. I think your Grandpa would love what you've done with that '77... You've taken that old farm pickup, and made it into a work of art. Good job.
Cooper you may be a C&D's to the school but to us your viewers you are an A+. We watch you closely and while you were quiet at first on Cole's channel, you have come into your own. You are smart, creative, hardworking and have a strong sense of family. A young man who Iowa can be proud of. As you grow up, you'll do fine. Be Strong, Carry On. I think the paint under the hood should be a tribute to your grandpa. of some type.
My Dad is so nice like your dad and when I was in school and nervous about grades he always used to say, “What do they call a doctor that graduates at the bottom of his class?”
And the answer of course is “Doctor”
🤷🏼♀️🙂👍🏼
The logical extreme of the classic "while I'm in here". Every car person experiences this at some point.
Here right now with my jeep
I was there with my 1st gen Cummins. Then i was there with my 2016 mustang when i put twin turbos on it wich then turned into building the motor. Now im back here with my 72' f600
Hey Cooper! Thanx for the video of your Ford F-150. There's a ton of history in your sweet ride. Keep that positive "can-do" attitude. You'll go far in this world. Take care and be safe.
So sorry you lost him, but your grandpa rides along with you & Im sure he’s so proud. I worry about all our farmers & life long exposure to chemicals, especially Round-up. I’m sure you’re all as careful as can be.
You're part of a farm family, you have your hay business, and you are a great welder. You don't necessarily need a college degree to be successful.
I was part of a three person family business for 34 years.
When my father died in 1990 I ran it for the rest of the time.
I used the earnings from that business to purchase 5 properties in Southern California in nice areas.
None of which have had a mortgage since 2012.
I know many people who have big college debts and were unable to get a job that has anything to do with their college degrees. I never went to college.
Yes, it "helps" to have a ready made business from "daddy" and the family....also the whole family milking the You Tube train so they can get 6 figures off of videos and rubes stupid enough to hang on their every word
This guy is worth his weight in gold.
Yea that would be cool to have a memorial of your grandpa. Great video of the truck your Grandpa would be be so proud of you awesome truck
That's what I'm talking about!!! 💙♥️💙 That is the SWEETEST Truck I have ever seen. We have the same taste, cause if I was to fix up an old Ford truck it would be just like that., Same color, same rims, same tires, etc.
It's Awesome Cooper, Nice Job!!!
My youngest son didn't graduate high school and he builds industrial robots, also he travels the world trouble shooting and installing them. I would say it would all depends on your passion as to how you make your living.
I am calling bullshit on this one but it is easy to lie in the comments section of You Tube

Nice job man. I have a 79 Chevy 4x4. Keep them square bodies alive. It's hip to be square🤗😊😜🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cooper sweet ride, a tribute to your grandfather and the farm for your murial. I had a 79, F 100, bought it new , installed factory air, that was a comfortable tide. wish I had it today. Ask the company for a refund on the lights say you not satisfied. I do like the wheels and tires.
Your 100% right about college coupe. They have been cramming the you have to go to college to be successful for the last 20 odd years. I have been in The electrical trade for about 20 years now. And there is a huge shortage of skilled workers. Straight out of high school you can make $20 an hour. And once you become a superintendent you make over $150,000 a year. So yeah there is a ton of jobs out there if you’re willing to work hard and a lot of money to be made.
Go to Trump U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEET RIDE!!!!!!!!! Henry Ford was a failing drop out that couldn't write or read very well, but he was a mechanical genius.
And according to Coop built this truck in 1877!!! Maybe Cooper needs to pay more attention in history class????? LMAO!
I got a 79 f150 4x4 Swb. It’s a rusty Michigan truck but it still strikes up conversations with older people at the gas station. I plan to fix all the rust, blast the frame, and paint it, and I got parts to build a 429 big block sitting around. It should be pretty cool when it’s done.
That's a sweet truck. I had a 79 4x4 f150 in the 80's. Lots of repairs and lots of fun. Sold the truck for 2 grand, that same truck now would sell for 12 grand plus. Selling it is my biggest regret. Job well done on the restoration.
Grades and degrees don't matter. What you do with the knowledge you have gained and the time you spend doing things you like is what matters. Your truck is amazing and i'm glad you have those rims on it. You build it the way you want to and add all the things on it that you like. Anyone that doesn't like the choices are welcome to buy their own truck and make it whatever way they want to make it. Keep doing what you're doing.
Amen on the school rant
Hey Cooper, I left school in 1983 with nothing, got a job as a tractor/combine mechanic, then did 3 years in the airforce as a driver, then back on the farm as a mechanic and now I’m driving trucks hauling grain. No education Never been out of work.
College isn't for everyone, and there are SO many successful people who did not go. If you're doing, for a living, what makes you truly happy, then, you are more successful than most people. I enjoy your videos so much, Cooper. Love your new channel!
Technical Schools or “Trade” schools are much more targeted if you know what you want to do.
Go to Trump U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@northalabama2264 I would
I'm jealous of that truck I love them ol 74-79 body style

Wood bed with the chrome stips l.e.d lights all the way around bucket seats with counsel paint brake calipers same color as truck just my thoughts not yours bad a** truck lots of love in that one 😎✌much love from Detroit 👍 THANX Great job
I was so bored in high school that the last year I took Cooperative Health Education (CHE). Worked half a day and only went to school till 11:30. Worked as a doctor’s assistant. After grad worked at my parents business until they retired and thought I’d really like to go to nursing school but am I smart enough??? Went in and tested expecting to get a letter with big red letters saying NO ACCEPTANCE, YOU’RE AN IDIOT!!! I was accepted and entered with scores in the top of my class! What??? Was on the President’s Honor Roll every semester of school. OMG! I wasn’t stupid. I was bored!!!
You need "FOR YOU GRANDPA" graffiti style under your bonnet, or hood, in your case.
👍😎👍🇬🇧MDS
Yes...so gramps can lay on the carborator and read it....LMAO...DAMN you fools are silly!
Copper you have a bright future ahead of you . No matter what you choose to do . You have MAD skills young man ..... So keep doing you !!!!!
Love that truck of yours! Takes me way back, and you did such a great job on it! I think I'd try to color match the spray on liner, or just choose a shade of blue that goes well. That trim package looks awesome! The pattern it makes, and the finish on the paint. That is one sweet truck, to be sure! Thanks for sharing Coop!
She’s a beauty
Love the dent side
You need some CB antennas for those side mirrors…That’s how we rigged them back in the day…BF Goodrich radial TAs are the tires you need. Very little road noise
Sweet, education comes in many ways. How sweet you and gramps worked together.. So a project with him still there. :)
Love that truck and even though I have brought a couple of gems to life. I'm jealous!!!
The thumbs down must have been from a teacher
Or any socialist.
I have a 77 f250 ranger and it's rare being a 250 ranger it's a crew cab with a flatbed and the ford 400
Awesome memories with your grandfather❤
Very sorry for your loss🙏
Cooper, my kids didn't like school either...They are doing great now that they are out in the world=) I watch you working on things in the shop, you are truly gifted!!
Put a picture of you and grandpa together under the hood. That's where it started .
Yes...so gramps can lay on the carborator and read it....LMAO...DAMN you fools are silly!
Under hood... “Grandpa Cornstar”
Yes...so gramps can lay on the carborator and read it....LMAO...DAMN you fools are silly!
Awesome looking truck Cooper
Yeah, Bailey453 had a good idea with your Grandfather. Show your him sitting on a tractor maybe plowing field. With great graphics. Sunset or sunrise as a back round.. I had a Van once showing me driving thru thru desert at sunrise. People loved it. Lots of comments. Take care. Be safe Cooper.
“Don’t know where the rant came from” he said! The DC started coming out in ya!
I never went to college, and I've had a very successful career. You'll be fine. You know more then most people with a college degree.
Go to Trump U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is absolute beauty on wheels! I've gotta say, Cooper, I agree with your college theory 100%. It's a shame more young people aren't encouraged to go into farming, trade schools, etc. You are doing very well for a young man, and I for one am proud of your accomplishments! Keep on keeping on!
Okay, Here is what I suggest. Put a 460 C6 in it with a single plane 4 barrel intake and a Holley 750 double pumper carb. A 351 Cleveland can work but I would stroke it to a 408 cubic inches. Find or have a set of Stainless Steel headers built for it. A little extra power just makes it a lot more fun to drive. Posi Trac or Track Loc front and rear. Forget the air lockers or detroit lockers. Get a good Mark Williams 3.250" third member with a Mark Williams billet aluminum pinion support. Upgrade to 31 spline axles. Aluminum Mark Williams drivelines, Rancho 9000 or Fox external reservoir shocks. Dual shock in front and single in the rear. Replace all rubber bushings with urethane. 33" to 35" radial RT's. They all throw rocks. Some of the AT's are way worse than MT's. Some nerf bars will help deflect them from the body. Build your own out of aluminum or stainless so they won't rust. Polished Stainless Steel front differential cover. Install an Absorbed Glass Mat battery. Have the stereo shop make you some super cool battery cables. A rear disk brake kit is a cool functional addition. I would paint the inside of the bed and get a heavy rubber mat to protect the floor. If need be you can get some 1/2" rubber stall matt and a 4 x 8 piece should lay in there perfect. This way you can pull it out and wash the paint and bed mat totally clean so don't dirt won't get under it and rub through the paint. An in the bed tool box that sits flush with the sides of the box. No diamond tread plate. Get the polished stainless smooth box. It won't be cheap but is so much nicer. Change all marker and turn bulbs for LED's. A behind the seat rifle rack. Keep your long gun out of sight but ensures it's always with you. I drove a 79 F150 Ranger 4x4 when I was in high school. 400M/C6 short wide box. 4.10 gears and 31x10.50-15 tires so it could still fit in a 8' garage. It was a beast. We had headers into dual 2.5" pipes with glass packs on it. It sounded sweet and the headers really helped the power. This should keep ypou busy for awhile. Sometimes less is more. A clean truck always looks nicer than one with a bunch of useless trash bolted all over it. I loved my bench seat. That way my sweetie could sit right by me.
Paint a lighthouse on the inside of the hood. You know what that represents.
Yes...so gramps can lay on the carborator and read it....LMAO...DAMN you fools are silly!
Beautiful truck nd should do something to remember grandpa
Good looking old Ford . Change all the light to LEDS look for the people best quality . The cheapest ones suck. Keep up the clean work.
Lolol I grew up with ford's, still my favorite...ball joints! Of course you have to replace them, it's a ford! Good job! Looks great and love that it has Grandpa connection. Keep it forever
You should put in memory of your grandpa on that truck and keep it forever...
Yes...so gramps can lay on the carborator and read it....LMAO...DAMN you fools are silly!
If you do something underneath the hood and you keep it clean I would do a tribute to your grandpa and his memory
Yes...so gramps can lay on the carborator and read it....LMAO...DAMN you fools are silly!
Warning on the exhaust cutouts, they dont seal fully so when they are closed it sounds like you have a exhaust leak, I spent almost $500 dollars for a dual exhaust kit, installed it and it leaked sounded like shite, sounded good when it was open tho. took them off.
Buy quality cut outs. Problem solved.
@@gregjames5070 They were Quick Time Performance cutouts from Summit # QTEC50CP $500 dollars. If you know of a better quality one I would like to know. Everyone I know with cutouts leak.

Love the truck Cooper. Yes you are totally right on you don’t need to go to college to be Successful. Young man you are doing just fine. Like you said. Your handy with tools. You can work of your farm machinery. You your Dad and Cole kick butt and work great together. I never went to college either. I have my own business in the pet care field. Keep up the good work 😊👍🏻
Well, you know what “they” say, The C students own the businesses and the A 🎓and B 🪄 students work for them! So there!! ✅😎😁
That car is 1 year older than me, gees just realizing I’m an Oldtimer.
I hope you're not classified as an Oldtimer yet Henrik. I'm 22 years older than Cooper's pickup and am still resisting the title of Oldtimer!
DAMN you are able to type and you were born in 1876??? (according to Coop's math anyway) BTW it is a TRUCK!
I know about the C D student thing, but I have worked as a mechanic all my life and did very good. The skill that you have welding and repairing things is natural gift that they can not teach you to understand in school. The Vo Tech dept is the only one that under stands. The world needs people like you and you do not have to go to college, just do what you do best and let Cole do his thing and you will have a very good life. God Bless you and your family and keep up the good work.
Yum. I painted my '68 250 that color. Later I had a 78 150 Lariat 460. Miss those Fords.
